Every time the words urinary tract infection (UTI) come up, the mind often jumps to one thing: sex. But that’s only part of the story and quite frankly, a misleading one.
You could be minding your own business, going about your day, when out of nowhere, a UTI strikes. Suddenly, you’re in pain, dodging social plans and making urgent dashes to the bathroom. Painful, inconvenient and often misunderstood, UTIs affect millions of people worldwide, and in most cases, sex has little or nothing to do with it.
A UTI is an infection that can affect any part of the urinary system, including the kidneys, bladder, ureters and urethra.
